using different smtp for sending mails
deve...@isl-gbr.de
Works without problems, but recipient_bcc_maps makes me a headache.
When trying to send the copy msmtp uses the "from" to identify the
account which is to use. But since the bcc contains the original sender,
it fails because it can't determine the account which is to use.
So my question is: is there a way to tell postfix to use maybe something
like another smtp service for recipient_bcc_maps, such as maybe msmtp2
which i can configure to use a default account to send these mails over?
Or are there any options possible in recipient_bcc_maps to give msmtp
the parameters manually (such as --from=def...@abc.com) ?

I don't understand. how do you do for other email (normal mail, not the
bcc copies)? it also has the oiginal sender.

use a specific domain for the bcc (such as @bcc.exaample.com) so that
you can use transport_maps. you can use generic maps to rewrite the
address (remove bcc part for example) if you need to do so.

see above. the idea is to encode such information in the recipient
address (and remove it at some time if necessary).

as "from"
Example:
When i send a mail from an internal adress like "testa...@abc.de",
msmtp identifies the account and uses the account "testaccount".
When using the recipient_bcc_maps, i recieve a mail from
"othera...@def.gh", and it keeps that "from" adress in the copy which
is made (and this is absolutely required here), so msmtp tries to find an
account for "othera...@def.gh", which fails of course, because there is
no account for it.

So i use recipient_bcc_maps to send it to a specific domain, and
transport_maps to give the necessary options for that? Ok, will try that,
thankya ;)
